As the Institute celebrates the centennial of that historic move, more than a dozen faculty from multiple departments across all five schools will gather for a symposium in Kresge Auditorium on Tuesday, April 12, to present short, exciting talks on their groundbreaking research — tied together by an immersive, multimedia campus tour by foot, drone, and skateboard. Come explore!</p></div></div></div><div class="vfield-read-more"><a href="/news-events/news/april-12-symposium-take-immersive-intellectual-journey-across-campus">Read More</a></div><div class="sharethis-buttons"><div class="sharethis-wrapper"><span st_url="https://bcs.mit.edu/news-events/news/april-12-symposium-take-immersive-intellectual-journey-across-campus" st_title="April 12 symposium: Take an immersive, intellectual journey across campus" class="st_sharethis_custom" displayText="sharethis"></span>

But two scholars at MIT’s Sloan Neuroeconomics Lab, along with a colleague at Princeton University, have found a way to make it better.</p>
<p>Their method, explained in a newly published paper, uses a technique the researchers call the “surprisingly popular” algorithm to better extract correct answers from large groups of people. As such, it could refine wisdom-of-crowds surveys, which are used in political and economic forecasting, as well as many other collective activities, from pricing artworks to grading scientific research proposals.</p></div></div></div><div class="vfield-read-more"><a href="/news-events/news/better-wisdom-crowds">Read More</a></div><div class="sharethis-buttons"><div class="sharethis-wrapper"><span st_url="https://bcs.mit.edu/news-events/news/better-wisdom-crowds" st_title="Better wisdom from crowds" class="st_sharethis_custom" displayText="sharethis"></span>
